Issues: Business and Consumers Employment and Affirmative Action

I grew up in Pleasant Grove in Dallas and come from a working-class family. My dad owned a small TV and VCR repair shop in Mesquite, so I understand the need to promote small business development in our community. That is why I filed legislation to provide training and professional development programs that would help unemployed individuals start their own small businesses. Also, I will continue to fight for an increase in the minimum wage and for equal pay for women so workers can make a livable wage for themselves and their families.
